The Hydro One storm centre is reporting pockets of power outages in the Flamborough region with now only about 20 customers affected.

Police are still warning motorists to act accordingly. Ontario Provincial Police said the 400 series highways are trouble free at this time. Roads are slick from overnight snow and freezing rain.
